Speaker 1: in the season of grief. What now?

16
00:00:57,121 --> 00:00:59,361
Speaker 2: Yes, and I meant that I meant unhinged in terms

17
00:00:59,361 --> 00:01:00,721
Speaker 2: of our advice, not the submission.

18
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:03,841
Speaker 1: Just for clarify, king, we are very unqualified. I'm kidding

19
00:01:05,161 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: last time I know it.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,761
Speaker 2: Actually one giggles best the advice. This is not medical advice.

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,001
Speaker 1: Now's the graines oft stile. People say that, all right?

22
00:01:13,081 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Let's do it, Hi, girls.

23
00:01:15,161 --> 00:01:17,321
Speaker 2: I have recently come out of an eleven year relationship

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,241
Speaker 2: with whom I had been with since we were seventeen.

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,881
Speaker 2: It ended very abruptly due to me discovering his drug addiction.

26
00:01:23,161 --> 00:01:26,481
Speaker 2: Oh shit, he has since the breakup four months ago,

27
00:01:26,761 --> 00:01:29,561
Speaker 2: destroyed our business, left me in such a financial burden,

28
00:01:29,681 --> 00:01:32,321
Speaker 2: and our two sons without their father. To say the

29
00:01:32,321 --> 00:01:35,481
Speaker 2: grief is unbearable. Is the tip of the iceberg. I

30
00:01:35,521 --> 00:01:37,521
Speaker 2: hate him so much for doing this to my family

31
00:01:37,601 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: and have tried to get him sober this whole time

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,641
Speaker 2: so that he didn't burn everything to the ground and

33
00:01:41,681 --> 00:01:44,321
Speaker 2: without any luck. As anyone who has dealt with an

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,681
Speaker 2: addiction will know that they can only help themselves. I

35
00:01:47,721 --> 00:01:50,481
Speaker 2: logged onto a dating app to distract myself, which seems immature,

36
00:01:50,521 --> 00:01:54,041
Speaker 2: but honestly self sabotaging. This was much easier for me

37
00:01:54,121 --> 00:01:58,041
Speaker 2: to digest than for matching my ex with substances. I

38
00:01:58,081 --> 00:01:59,761
Speaker 2: met this guy who was seven years older than me.

39
00:02:00,001 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: Our chemistry is amazing, and of course he says all

40
00:02:02,161 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: the right things.

41
00:02:03,721 --> 00:02:05,721
Speaker 1: Turns out, I'm to this man.

42
00:02:06,441 --> 00:02:08,921
Speaker 2: I'm completely vulnerable, but in a state where my ex

43
00:02:08,961 --> 00:02:10,881
Speaker 2: thinks he can just throw our whole lives away and

44
00:02:10,921 --> 00:02:13,281
Speaker 2: come back when he is ready. I really like this

45
00:02:13,321 --> 00:02:15,081
Speaker 2: new guy, but we've only been around each other at

46
00:02:15,161 --> 00:02:17,841
Speaker 2: least ten times. If that, I know it's not the

47
00:02:17,881 --> 00:02:19,761
Speaker 2: right way to bring a child into the world. My

48
00:02:19,841 --> 00:02:22,161
Speaker 2: children are ten and eight years old. I just feel

49
00:02:22,161 --> 00:02:23,681
Speaker 2: like this is the start of something new for me.

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,801
Speaker 2: Is this completely delusional?

51
00:02:26,641 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Ah? Only you have the answer to that. And obviously

52
00:02:31,001 --> 00:02:35,161
Speaker 1: it's going to depend on your beliefs around pregnancy and

53
00:02:35,201 --> 00:02:39,441
Speaker 1: keeping babies. And yeah, it's a tough one. I honestly

54
00:02:39,481 --> 00:02:41,481
Speaker 1: think the universe is ten SUPs ahead of us and

55
00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:43,401
Speaker 1: has a plan for you. And if this man is

56
00:02:43,441 --> 00:02:45,361
Speaker 1: someone that you connect with and you feel safe with

57
00:02:45,561 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and it feels right, then it feels right.

58
00:02:48,601 --> 00:02:48,921
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:02:49,001 --> 00:02:50,801
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just it feels like maybe this is

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,281
Speaker 1: all happening for the right reasons. And I think we

61
00:02:53,321 --> 00:02:56,561
Speaker 1: would ever regret babies, say, oh, blessings, And there's no

62
00:02:56,921 --> 00:02:58,841
Speaker 1: right or wrong time on when you can have a

63
00:02:58,841 --> 00:03:00,321
Speaker 1: baby with someone Like, yes, you want to get to

64
00:03:00,361 --> 00:03:01,881
Speaker 1: know them first and make sure you feel safe. But

65
00:03:01,881 --> 00:03:04,481
Speaker 1: if he's providing all of that this early on, then

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,361
Speaker 1: maybe it is to be Oh.

67
00:03:06,481 --> 00:03:09,921
Speaker 2: I'm also sorry to hear about like your eleven year relationship,

68
00:03:10,041 --> 00:03:12,641
Speaker 2: like that would be really really hard, especially with our

69
00:03:12,721 --> 00:03:13,281
Speaker 2: drug addiction.

70
00:03:13,401 --> 00:03:14,441
Speaker 1: Like I can my children.

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,561
Speaker 2: I can't say that I can relate to that in

72
00:03:16,641 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: terms of having been through that before, but I definitely

73
00:03:18,841 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: empathize with the fact of how challenging that would.

74
00:03:22,081 --> 00:03:23,361
Speaker 1: Be to have found out.

75
00:03:24,001 --> 00:03:26,081
Speaker 2: And I think like the biggest thing that like, this

76
00:03:26,121 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: is the first thing that comes to my mind. Again,

77
00:03:27,761 --> 00:03:29,161
Speaker 2: take this with a grain of salt, But the first

78
00:03:29,201 --> 00:03:31,561
Speaker 2: thing that comes to my mind is like, just check

79
00:03:31,601 --> 00:03:34,201
Speaker 2: with yourself that this doesn't come from a place of

80
00:03:34,601 --> 00:03:36,641
Speaker 2: wanting to fix how you're feeling in your life.

81
00:03:36,841 --> 00:03:38,801
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people think of babies going to solve a problems.

82
00:03:38,881 --> 00:03:40,601
Speaker 1: Yeah it doesn't, and a lot of that. It's not

83
00:03:40,641 --> 00:03:41,121
Speaker 1: just babies.

84
00:03:41,121 --> 00:03:43,681
Speaker 2: People do it with relationships, People do it with money, rolls,

85
00:03:43,721 --> 00:03:46,961
Speaker 2: buying things. You know, we tend to make decisions because

86
00:03:46,961 --> 00:03:50,481
Speaker 2: we want relief from something else a distraction more a distraction.

87
00:03:50,601 --> 00:03:52,481
Speaker 2: And again, like what actually said, like I'm not a

88
00:03:52,521 --> 00:03:54,561
Speaker 2: parent as well, so please take this with a grain

89
00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:57,041
Speaker 2: of salt. But obviously children are so beautiful and like

90
00:03:57,081 --> 00:03:59,081
Speaker 2: you would never regret having them or anything like that,

91
00:03:59,161 --> 00:04:01,921
Speaker 2: But does it come from a good place and I

92
00:04:01,921 --> 00:04:03,841
Speaker 2: think that's something that you can always just check in

93
00:04:03,881 --> 00:04:08,081
Speaker 2: with yourself and just really see where you're currently at. Obviously,

94
00:04:08,121 --> 00:04:10,361
Speaker 2: you went through a lot of chaos with your ex,

95
00:04:10,401 --> 00:04:13,161
Speaker 2: and you know, having gone through that and dealing with that,

96
00:04:13,201 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: and you're probably still healing from that definitely, and this

97
00:04:16,921 --> 00:04:19,961
Speaker 2: new man can be so beautiful for you. Yeah, it

98
00:04:19,961 --> 00:04:22,121
Speaker 2: can be beautiful. But is it like the right way

99
00:04:22,121 --> 00:04:23,201
Speaker 2: to bring a baby into the world.

100
00:04:23,241 --> 00:04:25,561
Speaker 1: I don't know, And it's not something we can give

101
00:04:25,601 --> 00:04:27,761
Speaker 1: advice on it in the way of yeah, like we

102
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:30,641
Speaker 1: don't know your views on abortions, and I know it's

103
00:04:30,681 --> 00:04:34,441
Speaker 1: a very controversial topic, but I think everyone's entitled to

104
00:04:34,481 --> 00:04:38,281
Speaker 1: make their own decisions. And sometimes the environment isn't right

105
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,761
Speaker 1: for you or the baby, or like where are you

106
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: at mentally and emotionally are you feeling okay to have

107
00:04:42,921 --> 00:04:46,121
Speaker 1: another child? Because parenting is not easy, especially when you're

108
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:48,001
Speaker 1: dealing with an ext drug addict and you've got two

109
00:04:48,001 --> 00:04:50,081
Speaker 1: young children that you're already bringing up. By the sounds

110
00:04:50,121 --> 00:04:52,921
Speaker 1: of things, solo, there's a lot of things to consider.

111
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,281
Speaker 1: So but I think deep down, I won't even use

112
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,201
Speaker 1: that word delusion or like, how do you feel, how

113
00:04:59,201 --> 00:05:00,841
Speaker 1: do you feel where you're at. Where do you see

114
00:05:00,841 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: yourself with this man? Is this the man you feel

115
00:05:03,201 --> 00:05:05,321
Speaker 1: so safe with you see a future with, like you're

116
00:05:05,361 --> 00:05:07,801
Speaker 1: in a good space to have another baby. I think

117
00:05:07,801 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot more deeper questions to ask yourself absolutely

118
00:05:11,121 --> 00:05:12,081
Speaker 1: before you make your decision.

119
00:05:12,201 --> 00:05:14,721
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And then also as well, there's like a financial

120
00:05:14,761 --> 00:05:17,161
Speaker 2: aspect to it as well. Yeah, do you feel you know,

121
00:05:17,161 --> 00:05:19,241
Speaker 2: obviously your ex partner you've said, has burned down your

122
00:05:19,281 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: business and like kind of burnt it to the ground,

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,801
Speaker 2: So I know that there would be potentially financial pressure

124
00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: for you at the moment, and it's like taking into

125
00:05:26,121 --> 00:05:29,281
Speaker 2: consideration that also babies, it's another financial investment.

126
00:05:29,361 --> 00:05:31,361
Speaker 1: Does that impact you're older too as well? He's still

127
00:05:31,601 --> 00:05:32,601
Speaker 1: able to provide for them?

128
00:05:32,761 --> 00:05:36,921
Speaker 2: Yeap, Yeah, I guess you know. Also, was it an accident?

129
00:05:37,281 --> 00:05:38,601
Speaker 2: You know? Is this something that you and this new

130
00:05:38,641 --> 00:05:39,601
Speaker 2: man have spoken about?

131
00:05:39,641 --> 00:05:41,001
Speaker 1: Like? How open are you guys?

132
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: You know?

133
00:05:41,641 --> 00:05:43,201
Speaker 1: Is it just like how does you feel about it?

134
00:05:43,241 --> 00:05:45,561
Speaker 2: Are you guys in a position where it feels like

135
00:05:45,681 --> 00:05:47,921
Speaker 2: serious straight away? Like that? I think all of those

136
00:05:47,961 --> 00:05:50,721
Speaker 2: things are worth taking into consideration because I've had.

137
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:53,001
Speaker 1: Friends that have got with a partner and within two

138
00:05:53,041 --> 00:05:54,681
Speaker 1: or three months, they're pregnant, and they're still together ten

139
00:05:54,721 --> 00:05:56,881
Speaker 1: years later. You know. That's why I don't think there's a

140
00:05:56,921 --> 00:05:58,361
Speaker 1: time of like, oh, you've got to be with someone

141
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:00,001
Speaker 1: for x amount of time, like sometimes when you know,

142
00:06:00,041 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you know. I do think it's smarter to get to

143
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,801
Speaker 1: know someone and to wait. A couple we is, travel

144
00:06:05,841 --> 00:06:08,321
Speaker 1: with them, live with them, See how they handle conflict,

145
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:12,641
Speaker 1: See they handle tough situations, money stress, See how they communicate,

146
00:06:12,681 --> 00:06:14,881
Speaker 1: See their flaws, their traumas, their triggers, their awareness. There's

147
00:06:14,921 --> 00:06:16,401
Speaker 1: so much that you can explore. So I think if

148
00:06:16,401 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: you can take the time to get to know someone,

149
00:06:18,801 --> 00:06:20,121
Speaker 1: you don't. I talk about this all the time. When

150
00:06:20,161 --> 00:06:22,201
Speaker 1: she meets someone, I'm like, it's there's no rush. Yeah,

151
00:06:22,361 --> 00:06:24,641
Speaker 1: you know. But also sometimes the universe has all the

152
00:06:24,721 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: plans and it just works. Yeah, every situation is so

153
00:06:27,561 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: unique and different and there's just not a blanket rule

154
00:06:29,641 --> 00:06:31,601
Speaker 1: of what's right or wrong, you know, But.

155
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:34,121
Speaker 2: Just be willing to ask yourself these questions, yes, you know,

156
00:06:34,281 --> 00:06:37,681
Speaker 2: especially like yeah, I think the context of how you

157
00:06:37,841 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: met is also important, Like was there an intention to

158
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,681
Speaker 2: just date loosely or is this like you just.

159
00:06:42,641 --> 00:06:44,681
Speaker 1: Got it sounded like it was a destruction, Like was

160
00:06:44,721 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: it just some fun?

161
00:06:45,521 --> 00:06:47,361
Speaker 2: Are you just like looking for fun and then this

162
00:06:47,401 --> 00:06:49,121
Speaker 2: has come about, or is it like, are you looking

163
00:06:49,201 --> 00:06:51,561
Speaker 2: for a new life partner? Because that's also going to

164
00:06:51,601 --> 00:06:53,121
Speaker 2: determine the decision that you make as well.

165
00:06:53,161 --> 00:06:54,841
Speaker 1: I think she said she went on a dating site

166
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: for distraction, but then she met this man who she

167
00:06:57,561 --> 00:07:00,481
Speaker 1: really likes and he's seven years older, and it sounds

168
00:07:00,521 --> 00:07:03,561
Speaker 1: like it was a unplanned pregnancy. Yes, I don't want

169
00:07:03,601 --> 00:07:07,921
Speaker 1: to say mistake, but oh accident, but unplanned pregnancy. I'm

170
00:07:07,921 --> 00:07:11,081
Speaker 1: hoping this man that she's met feels safe and feels

171
00:07:11,081 --> 00:07:12,681
Speaker 1: good and she's like, Wow, this could be my next

172
00:07:12,761 --> 00:07:14,721
Speaker 1: chapter because at the end of it sounded like that, right,

173
00:07:14,761 --> 00:07:16,641
Speaker 1: so this could be really something for me. Yeah, so

174
00:07:16,681 --> 00:07:19,241
Speaker 1: I think it's taken her by surprise. If it were

175
00:07:19,281 --> 00:07:22,241
Speaker 1: me in this position, what would you ask same questions?

176
00:07:22,361 --> 00:07:23,881
Speaker 1: Do you see a future with him? Do you feel

177
00:07:23,921 --> 00:07:26,561
Speaker 1: safe with him in your gut? Like does this feel

178
00:07:26,681 --> 00:07:28,281
Speaker 1: like the right time for you to have a baby?

179
00:07:29,321 --> 00:07:31,881
Speaker 1: And I'd also want to know just the whereabouts of

180
00:07:31,921 --> 00:07:34,041
Speaker 1: the X and is he rocking up, is he you know,

181
00:07:34,201 --> 00:07:38,281
Speaker 1: rocking up drugged? And just the safety of the other

182
00:07:38,321 --> 00:07:40,281
Speaker 1: two children as well, I want to make sure all

183
00:07:40,321 --> 00:07:42,361
Speaker 1: of that's covered. Yeah, but I'd be asking the exact

184
00:07:42,361 --> 00:07:45,961
Speaker 1: same questions. Yeah. Oh that's a tricky one. It's a

185
00:07:45,961 --> 00:07:47,601
Speaker 1: tricky one. But I think I do think babies a

186
00:07:47,921 --> 00:07:50,801
Speaker 1: huge blessing and I don't think we'd ever regret having them.

187
00:07:50,921 --> 00:07:51,201
Speaker 2: Yeah.

188
00:07:51,361 --> 00:07:52,841
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's like, oh my gosh, I

189
00:07:52,841 --> 00:07:54,761
Speaker 1: never wish I had my baby. It's like, Wow, they

190
00:07:54,761 --> 00:07:57,001
Speaker 1: saved me, they saved our family, They gave us so

191
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:59,601
Speaker 1: much joy and hope and love, and yeah, it is

192
00:07:59,641 --> 00:08:00,201
Speaker 1: the best ever.

193
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,361
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's one of those things, hey, where

194
00:08:02,361 --> 00:08:05,641
Speaker 2: it's like only like you have the most content of

195
00:08:05,681 --> 00:08:09,881
Speaker 2: anyone of where you're at mentally, what you're wanting for.

196
00:08:09,801 --> 00:08:12,041
Speaker 1: Yourself as a safety of the other kids.

197
00:08:12,361 --> 00:08:14,521
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like what you feel is like the right

198
00:08:14,601 --> 00:08:17,041
Speaker 2: next steps, Yeah, I think. Yeah, no one can give

199
00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:19,641
Speaker 2: you that context because you have all the context. You

200
00:08:19,681 --> 00:08:21,281
Speaker 2: know all the things, and if you check in with

201
00:08:21,281 --> 00:08:25,241
Speaker 2: yourself of all those I think if you listen intently enough,

202
00:08:25,281 --> 00:08:26,761
Speaker 2: you will find the answer. Yeah.

203
00:08:26,921 --> 00:08:29,521
Speaker 1: Yeah. And everything's a risk, and there's consequences to every

204
00:08:29,521 --> 00:08:32,121
Speaker 1: decision we make, and there's pros and cons and hard

205
00:08:32,161 --> 00:08:33,441
Speaker 1: moments no matter what you choose.

206
00:08:33,721 --> 00:08:36,121
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when I was younger, Like there's an episode

207
00:08:36,161 --> 00:08:38,441
Speaker 2: I talk about this in a previous podcast episode, But

208
00:08:38,481 --> 00:08:41,201
Speaker 2: I had an abortion when I was eighteen, and not

209
00:08:41,281 --> 00:08:43,041
Speaker 2: at all saying that this is your situation or you

210
00:08:43,081 --> 00:08:44,601
Speaker 2: have to do this or anything like that. But at

211
00:08:44,601 --> 00:08:47,561
Speaker 2: the time, obviously I was with somebody who was not

212
00:08:47,601 --> 00:08:49,321
Speaker 2: good for me. Yeah, and I was in like a

213
00:08:49,361 --> 00:08:53,401
Speaker 2: long term relationship of like three years, and long term

214
00:08:53,441 --> 00:08:55,441
Speaker 2: it's not really that long, that's long enough.

215
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:57,321
Speaker 1: But at the time, I was super young.

216
00:08:57,361 --> 00:08:59,641
Speaker 2: I was like fresh eighteen, and I knew at that time,

217
00:09:00,481 --> 00:09:03,041
Speaker 2: as much as I wanted it to be him for me,

218
00:09:03,121 --> 00:09:05,561
Speaker 2: it wasn't the right decision, you know. And so like

219
00:09:05,601 --> 00:09:07,561
Speaker 2: that was kind of the direction that I took. It's

220
00:09:07,601 --> 00:09:09,521
Speaker 2: not to say at all that that's the direction you

221
00:09:09,561 --> 00:09:11,881
Speaker 2: need to take, because it might not be right for you.

222
00:09:11,881 --> 00:09:14,081
Speaker 2: You might want to have this baby and like go

223
00:09:14,201 --> 00:09:17,161
Speaker 2: on to follow this path, and that's beautiful too. But

224
00:09:17,241 --> 00:09:20,201
Speaker 2: I think what I'm getting at is, in that moment,

225
00:09:20,401 --> 00:09:22,681
Speaker 2: even I knew what was right for me, in that

226
00:09:22,681 --> 00:09:25,241
Speaker 2: moment you listen to that, I was young. I was young,

227
00:09:25,601 --> 00:09:27,841
Speaker 2: like to make that decision and to hold that feeling

228
00:09:27,841 --> 00:09:31,041
Speaker 2: of pressure in that moment, it was like I still realize, like,

229
00:09:31,401 --> 00:09:33,281
Speaker 2: this isn't This isn't the path I want to go down.

230
00:09:33,321 --> 00:09:34,881
Speaker 2: This isn't for me right now, and it will be

231
00:09:34,921 --> 00:09:36,721
Speaker 2: in the future, but just not right now. Yeah, So

232
00:09:36,801 --> 00:09:38,321
Speaker 2: that was for me, and so you've got to figure

233
00:09:38,321 --> 00:09:39,201
Speaker 2: out what that looks like for you.

234
00:09:39,441 --> 00:09:41,881
Speaker 1: Yeah, we hope that helps and love and update and

235
00:09:41,881 --> 00:09:43,921
Speaker 1: we're sending you so much love. I can't even imagine.

236
00:09:44,441 --> 00:09:47,201
Speaker 1: I've known someone that's dealt with a brother that was

237
00:09:47,201 --> 00:09:50,281
Speaker 1: a drug addict, and it was just so traumatizing to

238
00:09:50,321 --> 00:09:52,521
Speaker 1: the whole family, Like it must be so hard to

239
00:09:52,521 --> 00:09:54,801
Speaker 1: watch someone that you love and also to grieve the

240
00:09:54,841 --> 00:09:57,401
Speaker 1: person you thought they were and then you're watching them

241
00:09:57,481 --> 00:10:00,041
Speaker 1: be completely different and then burn everything to the ground

242
00:10:00,041 --> 00:10:01,841
Speaker 1: that you've both worked hard on. And then to also

243
00:10:02,041 --> 00:10:04,201
Speaker 1: like watch your kids grieve the dad that they don't

244
00:10:04,201 --> 00:10:06,161
Speaker 1: have anymore, the dad you thought he was going to be,

245
00:10:06,201 --> 00:10:08,321
Speaker 1: Like they must be missing him and questioning Like eight

246
00:10:08,321 --> 00:10:10,161
Speaker 1: and ten, I've got a ten year old son, and

247
00:10:10,201 --> 00:10:12,921
Speaker 1: he is so emotionally aware of to what going on,

248
00:10:13,121 --> 00:10:15,881
Speaker 1: Like he can feel, he can sense, he asks questions,

249
00:10:15,921 --> 00:10:20,041
Speaker 1: he's super curious, Like they know they know what's going on,

250
00:10:20,081 --> 00:10:22,321
Speaker 1: but it's confusing, it's overwhelming. A lot of kids take

251
00:10:22,361 --> 00:10:24,361
Speaker 1: things on themselves, like I wasn't good enough, or maybe

252
00:10:24,361 --> 00:10:25,961
Speaker 1: I was the problem, or like what did I do

253
00:10:26,041 --> 00:10:28,561
Speaker 1: to make dad leave? You know? So it's super important

254
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:30,841
Speaker 1: that you're chatting with them and talking with them and

255
00:10:30,881 --> 00:10:33,561
Speaker 1: making sure they're okay throughout this whole process. And I

256
00:10:33,561 --> 00:10:36,241
Speaker 1: suppose that's another whole whole kettle of fish as well

257
00:10:36,281 --> 00:10:38,201
Speaker 1: as like when you're introducing a new man into your

258
00:10:38,241 --> 00:10:41,201
Speaker 1: relationship and making sure that they get along and that

259
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:43,921
Speaker 1: your new partner is willing and okay to take on

260
00:10:43,961 --> 00:10:45,881
Speaker 1: two little boys like that are are his own? If

261
00:10:45,921 --> 00:10:48,201
Speaker 1: he's not, like, well, for me, I'd be like, absolutely no,

262
00:10:48,321 --> 00:10:50,401
Speaker 1: They're a part of me. You know. You'd want someone

263
00:10:50,401 --> 00:10:52,201
Speaker 1: that treats them like their own, with so much respect

264
00:10:52,241 --> 00:10:55,161
Speaker 1: and love and safety because kids need that, they need safety,

265
00:10:55,201 --> 00:10:58,561
Speaker 1: especially from a healthy masculine Absolutely. Yeah, So a lot

266
00:10:58,641 --> 00:11:00,961
Speaker 1: of questions to ask yourself. But I just don't feel

267
00:11:00,961 --> 00:11:03,481
Speaker 1: like we have enough context in the message. Wish you

268
00:11:03,561 --> 00:11:05,761
Speaker 1: knew a little bit more. Why if you're ever writing

269
00:11:05,801 --> 00:11:08,081
Speaker 1: in for our Bessie submission, the more context you give us,

270
00:11:08,081 --> 00:11:10,161
Speaker 1: the better make it lengthy, because It's like if we

271
00:11:10,161 --> 00:11:11,721
Speaker 1: go to each other, we're not missing any detail.

272
00:11:11,841 --> 00:11:14,801
Speaker 2: No, No, we're sitting there to detail over yo chi

273
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:16,601
Speaker 2: literally or some kind of dinner.

274
00:11:16,761 --> 00:11:19,121
Speaker 1: We know every detail of the whole situation. There is

275
00:11:19,281 --> 00:11:22,201
Speaker 1: nothing missed. It's like it's someone you've seen once before.

276
00:11:22,241 --> 00:11:23,801
Speaker 1: I remember them been like, do you tell me Ashley

277
00:11:23,801 --> 00:11:26,841
Speaker 1: all these details? Absolutely seems like do you tell Tanna everything?

278
00:11:26,841 --> 00:11:30,601
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, is that a question? Is there

279
00:11:30,601 --> 00:11:36,481
Speaker 1: any other way? I'm like okay, So yeah, the more

280
